Sea Turtle Inc does great work to rehabilitate and re-release sea turtles into the ocean. If you get a chance to watch one of their release events of turtles back into the ocean: go - it is very cool. The actual location is less cool than expected, but beautiful sites from the surrounding boardwalk and a great learning experience for the youngins especially. It's not expensive to go to and it feels good to give to an organization making such a concerted effort to positively impact our eco system.

March 2021 Visit. Sea Turtle Inc is a refuge and hospital for sea turtles with various tanks, different turtles to see, an informational talk, a little museum, and gift shop. It's on the main strip, across from the Hilton/LaQuinta and easy to access (like most things in SPI). Would make for a nice short walk if you were staying close. We went as soon as it opened up on a weekday to avoid any crowds and that worked well. They also have an informational talk in their amphitheater just a little after opening, so it made it easy to attend that as well as see the turtles. Very cheap entry. We definitely didn't know that much about sea turtles and being there just after the cold snap that hit Texas this year, it was certainly interesting to hear the stories about rescuing turtles. I bought some gifts for mementos and to be able to help support the effort. Wear comfortable shoes. Know that this is not very interactive, as the turtles are in tanks and are there because they have been injured or have some illness. No touching. Sorry, kids. It is still a great place to visit for an hour or two and learn about the animals with a great mission. Worth a visit!

This was our second year visiting Sea Turtle Inc. Our family loves the history of this place and all of the good they do for the sea turtles and sea life in general. It was super rainy all day so they had the turtle talk inside the Resident's hall - which was a little hard to hear due to the echo. But we learned about each of the residents. We were saddened to hear one of them passed away in June - but he had a good life there at Sea Turtle Inc. We also happened upon Christmas in July and the kids got to talk to Santa! He was vacationing in South Padre! Such a fun surprise.
